As California celebrated its second Chinese Railroad Workers Memorial Day on Thursday, a Chinese artist and a State Assembly member have produced an art exhibition to honor the workers and promote Sino-US friendship.

Zhao Zhunwang, an artist of traditional Chinese paintings from Beijing, recently completed a 10-day visit to the historical sites where Chinese workers helped build the Transcontinental Railroad in the US more than 150 years ago.

He traveled, sometimes on foot due to rough terrain, across three states - from Sacramento, California, to Salt Lake City, Utah. During the trip, he worked on 60 sketches.
